Game, set and match.
Indie iconoclasts Tennis are currently midway through their 'Face Down in the Gardens' farewell tour that's sent them to music halls, theaters, rooftops and festivals all over North America.
At each and every show, husband and wife duo Alaina Moore and Patrick Riley run through their deep, atmospheric catalog, delivering well-known tracks like 'Runner' and 'Matrimony' as well as cuts from their recently-released record that shares a name with the tour.
On Sunday, June 1, The New York Post sent fans Alyssa Hargrove and Anissa Boukourizia to the group's gig at NYC's The Rooftop at Pier 17.
'The muted set with the backdrop of the Brooklyn Bridge was perfect,' Hargrove raved. 'It didn't upstage the musicians or their woozy music.'
'Their video work was really well done,' Boukourizia added. 'Hypnotizing, dissolving visuals from the live feed that helped you feel apart of the concert whether you were standing near or far.'
As for the crowd, it truly was an all-ages affair.
'We literally saw a child under one strapped to their father's chest as well as people well into their greying years,' Hargrove pointed out.
Most importantly though, given that this might really be 'match point' for Moore, Riley and Tennis, there was an added emotional weightiness to the evening.
'You could hear a pin drop during the final song,' Hargrove noted. 'Somehow people knew how special the moment was. So rarely do we get to say goodbye to things, people and musicians we love. There was this reverent acknowledgement in the air, and it was really meaningful to be a part of that.'
As of now, Tennis has 15 concerts remaining on their 2025 run with special guests like Billie Marten, Cults, Real Estate and Hovvdy joining them.
If you'd like to see them live, here's everything you need to know about catching Tennis live on their farewell tour in 2025.

David Byrne announces 2025 tour, six NY shows. Get tickets today
Vivid Seats is the New York Post's official ticketing partner. We may receive revenue from this partnership for sharing this content and/or when you make a purchase. Featured pricing is subject to change. It's back 'into the blue again' for David Byrne. Just days after releasing a Saorise Ronan-starring 'Psycho Killer' music video and surprising the Governors Ball crowd in red overalls midway through Olivia Rodrigo's scorching cover of 'Burning Down The House,' the former Talking Heads frontman announced his first album and solo tour in seven years. Starting in September, the 73-year-old Rock Hall of Famer will hit venues all over North America on his 'Who Is The Sky? Tour,' which is named after his new album due out Sept. 5 and features contributions from St. Vincent, Paramore's Hayley Williams, The Smile's drummer Tom Skinner, Ghost Train Orchestra and producer Kid Harpoon. Advertisement While out and about, Byrne has six (!) stops in New York planned. Up first, he'll bring his latest record — his ninth solo studio offering — to Schenectady's Proctors Theatre on Sunday, Sept. 21. After that, the man who made oversized suits cool drops into Syracuse's Landmark Theatre on Tuesday, Sept. 23 and Buffalo's Shea's Performing Arts Center on Thursday, Sept. 25. Finally, the Grammy winner closes his NY run with three shows at Manhattan's Radio City Music Hall on Tuesday, Sept. 30, Wednesday, Oct. 1 and Friday, Oct. 10. At all shows, he'll be joined by a 13-member backing band made up of musicians, singers and dancers, some of whom were part of his 'American Utopia' ensemble. Per usual, all 'will be mobile throughout the set.' Advertisement 'I suspected that intimate orchestral arrangements would bring out the emotion I sense is there in these songs [from the forthcoming album],' Byrne said. 'It's something that folks don't always hear in my work, but this time for sure I thought it was there.' Fans Byrners can purchase tickets for all upcoming North American David Byrne shows on sites like Vivid Seats; the official on-sale for the 'Who Is The Sky? Tour' is Friday, June 13. Vivid Seats is a secondary market ticketing platform, and prices may be higher or lower than face value, depending on demand.

David Byrne tour schedule 2025 Advertisement A complete calendar including all North American dates, venues and links to buy tickets can be found below. David Byrne set list While the wily vocalist will likely lean into his new album on this run of shows, we wanted to give you an idea of what Byrne took to the stage on his 2018 'American Utopia Tour.' According to Set List FM, here's what he played at a gig in Australia (ahead of the long-standing Broadway stint that ran on and off from 2019-22): 01.) 'Here' 02.) 'Lazy' (X‐Press 2 cover) 03.) 'I Zimbra' (Talking Heads song) 04.) 'Slippery People' (Talking Heads song) 05.) 'I Should Watch TV' (David Byrne & St. Vincent song) 06.) 'Dog's Mind' 07.) 'Everybody's Coming to My House' 08.) 'This Must Be the Place (Naive Melody)' (Talking Heads song) 09.) 'Once in a Lifetime' (Talking Heads song) 10.) 'Doing the Right Thing' 11.) 'Toe Jam' (Brighton Port Authority cover) 12.)

'Hell You Talmbout' (Janelle Monáe cover) David Byrne new music On Sept. 5, Byrne is scheduled to drop his ninth solo album 'Who Is The Sky?' Ahead of the record's release, he unveiled the lead single 'Everybody Laughs.' Clocking in at almost four minutes, the track is a joyous, almost tropical tune. Complete with Byrne's trademark staccato vocals and Ghost Train Orchestra's jaunty strings that are a bit reminiscent of George Michael's 'Freedom,' the song fits squarely in Byrne's canon. To hear for yourself, you can find 'Everybody Laughs' here. For an even closer look, here's the track list for 'Who Is The Sky.' 01.) 'Everybody Laughs' 02.) 'When We Are Singing' 03.) 'My Apartment Is My Friend' 04.) 'A Door Called No' 05.) 'What Is the Reason for It?' (feat. Hayley Williams) 06.) 'I Met the Buddha at a Downtown Party' 07.) 'Don't Be Like That' 08.) 'The Avant Garde' 09.) 'Moisturizing Thing' 10.) 'I'm an Outsider' 11.) 'She Explains Things to Me' 12.) 'The Truth' Recent David Byrne projects Missed Byrne's Gov Ball drop in with O-Rod?
